This is semi-feature in BeOS, for instance the first time you boot, (or if you modify drivers, etc,) it takes a while because it has to load all of those drivers, do initialization, etc... However it also appears to save a snapshot of everything required to boot again, because the next time you boot, it only would take 10 to 15 seconds.
I may be wrong about exactly how it does it, (i.e. snapshot,) but it works as if it had done that. For application stuff, this is MUCH harder, unless you save out the memory of each application to disk, and hope that any hardware they need doesn't change during the next boot. There are lots of little niglys however, and this problem isn't light development.
